Right, Margaret :wink: . An added element of inversion, irony, and impossibility ~ so to speak :wink: . An extra measure of humourous, 'Zennish'-somehow twist. But that's okay. It works the way it is.

As for Leonard's songs, I've signed "Always" and had sorta planned to do it in Berlin ~ perfect time, given the composer and the truth of the song ~ but I just don't see where the practice time is going to come from... so Andrew may want to free up my spot. I'd love to do it. Would love to do "If It Be Your Will" or "Hallelujah," too, but either of those would require starting from scratch... and the philosophical complexities of Leonard's writing can make signing the concepts rather difficult, and the meaning totally lost if you try to just go with the words. I keep thinking "maybe," but then it's suddenly two days later... and the thought of it is two more days worth of overwhelming.

I always wonder if it is sheer parano or if it is sheer evil or a mix of both or whatever that make some people twist my innocent posts. Maybe the Prince of Darkness did not like me saying that we should not worship him. Who knows.

The deaf people, at least, they can not hear some kind of special remarks about their "imperfection". Or maybe you laughed of them all the way. Or maybe you did not make fun or harm them just because you were in duty there, not in you leisure time. Or maybe you are mean to people only during your leisure time, were you can cut loose from being stiff like at work? Many you think that there is no consquences to what you do to people during your leisure (error). So many questions that will be left without real answer, I'm afraid.

Take a rest and check out what you and Dem have been doing, regarding words... a typo can lend a whole new avenue to meaning. Period.

You remind me of someone sitting in the hall of an institution swatting at imaginary spiders. My comments had nothing to do with meanness toward deaf people or toward you. It had to do with what was already going on and was simply a new element afforded by a typo. Would've been very clever on the writer's part had it appeared on its own... the writer could've just as easily been someone else as you. My comment would've been the same.

Meanwhile, stop trying to demonize me.

I do nothing. You are doing all the job yourself. Can't you read good English? I mean your posts, of course.

All is there. Of course, is is not enough to know how to write and read, some other skills that you don't have are required, like being able to be honest. As you can not recognize having done a mistake of some sort, you have to charge others for all what is going wrong with you. Only you believe in your lies, though, sweetie.

Thanks for your spiders, I'll take them with me - little God's creatures they are - I have some mosquitos to get rid of around here. 8)

Yes, you do. You do two things right here. You demonize. You lie.

To address an earlier comment of yours. There was no twisting of your post. There was an imaginary, humourous twist to what was clearly not your post, in the form it existed, as I knew it was but a typo on your part. It would have been clever had it been intentional. I went with the clever and enjoyed the possibilities.
